JOLIET

Committee gives OK to tax incentives

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet City Council committee agreed Friday to recommend a tax incentive package worth an estimated $188,000 for a Cadence Premier Logistics project that includes a corporate office and indoor soccer field.

Cadence Premier plans to relocate operations from Alsip.

The project also includes warehouse, light assembly and truck service operations.

Cadence is one of several projects planned for the Laraway Crossings Business Park along Route 53, which has become increasingly congested with truck traffic.

Another 1 million-squarefoot warehouse is planned next to the Cadence operation by

Hillwood, a Texas-based developer of logistics property. The developer also has been seeking tax incentives, but put the request on hold until a user for its building is identified.

The incentives for Cadence passed by a 2-0 vote with one member absent from the meeting of the Economic Development Committee.

Committee Chairman Larry Hug said the Cadence project should not add much truck traffic to the area.

“This is not a destination point creating a lot of new truck traffic for deliveries,” Hug said to Cadence representatives. “Most of what you do is service the truck traffic that is already here.”

The incentives

The Cadence plan includes

a 124,000-square-foot warehouse that could be expanded some day by 94,500 square feet.

The tax incentives, which likely will go to the full City Council for a vote on Aug. 4., include a five-year, 50 percent abatement on property taxes estimated to be worth $28,000 a year. The city also would waive impact fees estimated at $48,000.

The property tax abatement was sought only for the warehouse and corporate office building. It will not apply to a truck fueling center, convenience store and parking lot.

Joliet-based attorney Michael Hansen, representing Cadence, said the company plans to add 92 jobs over three years at the warehouse and corporate building, which will include light assembly opera-

tions.

Hansen said the company hopes to close on the Joliet property in August. He said the Joliet site “is not a done deal.” Cadence is looking at two other sites in Illinois and one in northwest Indiana, he said.

Indoor soccer

The project will include the unique feature of an indoor soccer field. Hansen said one of the company’s owners is a former professional soccer player from Germany, and the soccer field is available for employees’ use.

The soccer field also will be made available to Joliet school-age soccer players, Hansen said.

The project poses the possibility of two indoor soccer

fields on the south end of Joliet. The Joliet Park District has plans to build an indoor soccer field at Nowell Park, which is at Route 53 and Doris Avenue. The Laraway Crossings Business Park is at Laraway Road.

Hansen said Cadence also is requesting property tax abatements from Will County, the Joliet Township High School District and the Laraway School District.

The Hillwood incentive request was put on hold at city staff’s suggestion, said James Haller, the city’s director of community and economic development. Haller said Hillwood has not identified a user for the building yet, and staff suggested that the incentive request should come from the future owner.

Grundy County’s Hoarding Task Force joins regional group

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Just over a year ago the Grundy County Health Department assembled a Grundy County Hoarding Task Force, bringing together municipalities, first responders and mental health professionals to address the mental illness.

Hoarding affects about 5 percent of the world’s population, according to statistics provided by the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Susan Hudson, director of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Division at the Grundy County Health Department, said while the group hasn’t located all the residents who need help, members are seeing referrals from first responders and property managers.

“Some weeks we have no referrals, other weeks we have three or four,” Hudson said.

Hudson said there are nine counties in the health department’s region, and seven of them have hoarding task forces, including Will, Kendall and DuPage counties.

Once the county agencies found out there were others doing what they were, they decided to organize a regional group that will meet throughout the year to exchange information and discuss what others are doing and see if those ideas will work on a local level. They met in June at the DuPage Health Department.

“It’s fascinating to share, and some will say, ‘I hadn’t thought of that.’ We are looking forward to what the group will be able to do together,” Hudson said.

crowd than last year’s 1,200 attendees.

It starts at 11 a.m. at Mokena Intermediate School, 11331 W. 195th Street with a procession ending at the festival grounds

Phil Jass, public health administrator at the Grundy County Health Department, said what was once thought to be a local problem is much larger than originally thought.

“We think about how it affects us locally and now we are seeing that it’s much larger,” Jass said.

He said joining other agencies that have hoarding task forces in place gives the county additional resources that will

be beneficial to the residents of Grundy County.

In June, Melissa Wasko, the “60-plus” therapist for the Grundy County Health Department, was seeing nine local residents who are actively working on their illness.

According to Mayo Clinic, “Hoarding disorder is a persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. A person with hoarding disorder experiences distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Excessive accumulation of items, regardless of actual value, occurs.”

Hudson said oftentimes the problem is not evident from outside the home, and the way they are found is when first responders are called to the home.

A hoarding protocol flow-

chart was put into place that first responders and code officers can follow in both emergency and non-emergency situations.

“Melissa responds to a report with someone, such as a first responder or a property manager, and lets them know we are here to help by being as reassuring as possible,” Hudson said. “She’s very gentle and not pushy. You can tell she is passionate about the cause.”

The hoarding task force was started with a grant from the Community Foundation of Grundy County, and Hudson said like any other grant-based program, making the program easy to duplicate is important so it can be shared with others.

Calls to DuPage and Will County departments for comments on this article were not immediately returned.

at the Front Street Metra Station lot. The festival is based on the traditional Italian Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Several musical acts are also scheduled to perform through-

out the day on the main stage, including local tenor Franco Martorana, who will perform traditional Italian opera classics.

Tickets to enter the festival

are $6 each, or $18 a family.

Following expenses, all funds raised will be donated to various local charities in Mokena and surrounding areas.

“We are looking forward to what the group will be able to do together.”

Will County educators take time to test new classes

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

JHN

NEW LENOX – School’s out for most students in the summer – but not for many of the teachers.

The summer is when teachers tend to focus the most on developing their classroom instruction skills and learning new tools. By the time school is back in session, they’re prepared to shape young minds in new ways.

Catherine Sieber, a Lincoln-Way Central High School physical science teacher, went to a workshop last summer where she learned about modeling instruction, where students learn science through discovery and lab activities rather than lectures or PowerPoint presentations.

Learning the concept has made a huge impact in her work.

“It has changed my entire curriculum. … I’ve been able to rely on students to teach,” Sieber said. “I’ve always been careful of putting them in power positions, but they really embraced it. … It’s been eye-opening to me how much responsibility you can give students.”

Teachers throughout Will County undergo training throughout the year to improve their skills but summer is when they can concentrate on their development the most. Many of them do it for little to no compensation, but it counts toward hours needed to renew their teaching licenses. Their professional development also helps them earn advanced degrees, which can lead to more pay.

“Good teachers do what it takes to be a good teacher. In the public education world, things change all the time.

Teachers must be on top of those things,” said Tom Hernandez, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman.

Training to train

In the Plainfield school district this summer, teachers are learning new online resources they can use in the classroom, as well as aligning

their curriculum with standards such as Next Generation Science Standards.

Social studies teachers are spending time learning about the College, Career and Civic

Framework, new standards recently adopted by the Illinois State Board of Education.

Shelly Penrod, John F. Kennedy Middle School physical education teacher, was back to being a student with other teachers at the district administration building last week to learn about new online health resources and curriculum standards.

While she was taking notes

from a McGraw-Hill consultant, she in turn would go back to her school and teach other teachers what she learned.

“It’s really important we learn all the resources before we teach the students,” she said.

technology this summer. Instructional leadership team teachers complete professional development that focused on classroom technology integration for the upcoming school year, such as having teachers using Office Mix, said Alberto Filipponi, a JTHS curriculum director.

“We’re focusing on creating online collaborate environment for assignment submission and collaboration.

[Teachers] have discussion posts, they have blogs,” Filipponi said.

Teachers also have been learning how to perform data mining so they can research student data and improve their instruction based on their classroom results, he said.

Testing new classes

At Lincoln-Way this summer, teachers districtwide have attended workshops and conferences across departments. Even with summer school, teachers are testing new ways to engage students.

“We’re all about what we can do to have students more engaged in the classroom with the curriculum. Teaching more creatively, teaching more effectively,” said Aimee Feehery, Lincoln-Way instruction director. “We always hope they take things away from these workshops they can put into the classroom.”

She said summer professional development allows teachers to learn and sharpen their skills but have other teachers come in and learn from them as well.

Learning from the recent past Emergency exercises and experience helped Coal City

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Coal City could write a book – or at least a pamphlet – on emergency planning after what the town has been through, Mayor Terry Halliday said.

And, he’d like to see it done as a guide to other communities that may go through a tornado like the one that hit his village the night of June 22.

“When we have enough time to breathe, we need to step back and do a postmortem to see what worked well for us, who played what roles, and we need to pass that on to other towns,” Halliday said.

If so, it probably will be well-read – at the very least by emergency planners who spend a lot of time preparing for disasters that may never happen. When they do, it’s good to have a plan.

Halliday said he saw evidence soon after the tornado hit that night that not only were Coal City’s police and fire department prepared to respond, but so were many neighboring departments.

“When I spoke with the chief of police, there were already several police departments in town,” Halliday said.

Mutual aid

He added that there was a large presence early from the Will County Sheriff’s Department. The storms hit during a shift change at Will County, and the afternoon shift was held over to help where needed, said Harold Damron, director of the Will County Emergency Management Agency.

“That’s how mutual aid has always worked,” Damron said. “I help you, and you help me, and it all comes out in the end.”

Most of that does not happen by accident. A lot of planning and preparedness goes into mutual aid response.

“Everything we do kind of

builds off of previous incidents and exercises,” said Joe Schroeder, director of the Grundy County Emergency Management Agency. “That’s why we do exercises.”

Training exercises for disasters can be countywide.

They often expand beyond the county. Just a few days before the Coal City tornado – a storm system that dropped tornadoes on several communities in northern Illinois – there was a statewide drill called “Operation Power Play” to prepare for disasters that strike multiple communities at the same time.

“Even though they may seem like little exercises, it’s how we build our abilities and keep them sharp,” Schroeder said.

The Diamond experience

Real-life experience, while not wanted, does help prepare for disasters, too.

In Coal City’s case, the Diamond tornado of November 2013 gave local authorities a lot of recent experience in how to respond to a disaster.

“The Diamond tornado no doubt was an example of a real-life incident that we could learn from and move forward,” Schroeder said.

The Multi-Agency Resource Center, developed in Coal City to meet needs ranging from insurance claims to getting drivers’ licenses to replace those lost in the storm, was created with a look back at what was needed after the Diamond tornado, Schroeder said.

Local police departments, fire departments and even public works departments were available quickly to help Coal City after the tornado struck, Schroeder said.

“In the case of a tornado like this one or Diamond’s, it’s very overwhelming to the local agency,” he said. “You’re able to call in help from other municipalities or counties.

Even then it overwhelms pretty quickly.”

“Even to this day, you kind of use the Plainfield tornado as a benchmark.”

The impact of Sept. 11

Much of the emergency response planning that occurs today was shaped in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Damron said.

“A lot of things have come about because of Sept. 11,” Damron said. “One of the big things is mutual aid. It’s been around for long time, but after Sept. 11 it became more robust.”

Fire department mutual aid systems have become statewide because of Sept. 11, he said. The use of public works departments in mutual aid networks also is a product of the terrorist attacks.

Damron said Will County officials also learned much

from a disaster that occurred 25 years ago – the Plainfield tornado.

“Even to this day, you kind of use the Plainfield tornado as a benchmark,” he said. “One of the things I’m encouraged about is no one was killed [in Coal City].”

Damron credits technology, including weather radios and emergency alert apps on cellphones, for helping keeping people safe in Coal City. That and smart decisions by people to take shelter in the storm. He said he talked to people in the aftermath, and many of them

were ready when the storm hit.

“Some of them said I heard the news. Some of them said I got the alert on my phone,” he said. “I’m sure those things helped avert the loss of life.”

That, too, may go into the disaster preparedness plans that Halliday would like to see written.

“I definitely want to get that pamphlet out and share it with people,” the mayor said.

“The other thing I would say is take all the help you can get because you’ll need more help than you think.”

JOLIET – The Will County Board failed to approve a controversial zoning variance for an unincorporated Bolingbrook resident as he remains in a legal battle with the neighboring village of Bolingbrook over use of the property.

A three-fourths majority was needed because the village filed an objection in the case.

An approval of the variance would have flown in the face of the city’s plans for future development nearby, with city officials having taken Henry James to court over the matter.

Board member Steve Wilhelmi, D-Joliet, made a motion during Thursday’s meeting to reconsider the vote, after there was some confusion over how many were needed for approval. Both times it failed, 19-5, with Democrat Caucus Chair Herbert Brooks changing his mind, while Wilhelmi had switched his vote to “yes.”

The board was divided over approving the variance – which would allow James to move forward with his building application for a pole barn to store antique cars – a sticking point in his legal battle with the village.

Some stressed the man’s lack of action in cleaning up his yard, while others, like Judy Ogalla, R-Monee, said the board shouldn’t bend to pressure from Bolingbrook.

“This man had this property a long time, a long time before the village determined what to do with this area,” Ogalla said.

“He’s unincorporated. For that reason, the village should not be able to determine what he can and cannot do. ... We should not be biased by some mayor who is going to tell us to vote this or that way.”

Board member Tom Weigel, R-New Lenox, said he is looking into whether a reconsideration vote is in order because James’ attorney left after the first vote believing his client had won the board’s approval.

not arrested until August 2010 when forensic tests were completed and Sitko continued her relationship with Loza after her son’s death.

During the first trial in September 2013, Jones only allowed Loza’s lawyers to ask about the couple’s relationship until they stopped seeing each other regularly, but the judge later decided she had improperly imposed that restriction.

The trial redo in February resulted in an additional half-hour of deliberation time before Loza was convicted

Two in sentenced Morris burglaries Remaining pair due in court next month

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN–VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Two of the four men charged with involvement in the Morris residential burglaries this past winter have been sentenced.

Morris police had investigated numerous residential burglaries that occurred between Dec. 24 and Jan. 31.

Many of the burglaries occurred in the vicinity of Lisbon Road and Meadowbrook Lane, and took place

in the early evening hours when no one was home, Morris police stated in March.

Dante B. Ferguson, 19, of Joliet; Jereme T. Foster, Jamil Q.R. 19, of Joliet; Anjel L. Gordon Cepeda, 19, of Joliet; and Jamil Q.R. Gordon Jr., 20, of Romeoville were all charged by the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office with residential burglary in connection with the incidents.

In April, Foster pleaded not guilty and was in court July 2, where it was ordered he be released on a personal recognizance bond.

He was given another court date

of Aug. 3 for a fitness to stand trial hearing, according to judici.com.

Ferguson pleaded not guilty in April and is out on bond. He was last in court June 25. He is up for another status hearing Aug. 6.

The latest to be in court was Gordon on July 7, where he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in the Illinois Department of Corrections with credit for 98 days in jail, according to judici.com.

On May 15, Cepeda also pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in the Department of Corrections, with credit for 37 days served.

Both Gordon and Cepeda were ordered to pay court costs and restitution.

sat on one side of the courtroom while Sitko sat on the other with reporters and court personnel.

Jones warned lawyers the “gag order” prohibiting them from discussing the case with the media remains in effect since the defense will file a motion for her to reconsider the sentence.

Because of Kevion’s age, Loza must serve his complete sentence, but will receive credit for the five years he has spent in the Will County jail.

POLICE BRIEFS Woman talked down from leaping into Illinois River MORRIS – Responders from Morris police, Grundy County Sheriff’s Office and Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District responded about midnight Friday to reports of a woman threatening to jump from the Route 47 bridge over the Illinois River.

Morris Police Deputy Chief John Severson said Friday morning Morris officers and sheriff’s deputies talked the woman down from jumping off the structure, and she was transported to Morris Hospital.

The situation is now being handled by medical professionals but Severson said late Friday morning he was unsure of the woman’s whereabouts.

Severson said the matter may have lasted 15 to 20 minutes and traffic was briefly shut down.

Police: Violent offender caught trespassing in Joliet preserve

Man arrested on child grooming charge

JOLIET – A registered violent offender was allegedly caught in a Joliet forest preserve Thursday.

According to state police records, Timothy L. Norris, 42, is a violent offender against youth and prohibited from being in such public park areas as the Hadley Valley Trail off Gougar Road. Norris was convicted in 2012 of aggravated battery to a 5-year-old.

Will County Forest Preserve Police Sgt. Reggie McCray said an officer was on patrol about 6 p.m. when he ran a check on Norris’ license plate and learned he was not supposed to be in the preserve.

When he returned to his car from walking on the trail, Norris was arrested, McCray said.

Norris, of the 600 block of Patterson Road, was booked into the Will County jail and released Thursday night.

Authorities seeking information on other possible victims SHAW MEDIA WILIMINGTON – A Wilmington man has been charged with child grooming, and authorities are asking the public to come forward if they know of another child who may have been a victim of the same suspect.

Will County sheriff’s deputies were called July 8 to the Knights Inn, 24001 Lorenzo Road in Wilm-

ington, regarding a welfare check on a female juvenile.

Deputies spoke with Jeremy R. Hicks, 34, of 25540 W. Cottage Road in Wilmington, and the 15-yearold female whom deputies were looking for along with her female friend, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

All three were found inside a room that had been reserved by Hicks.

The two girls were questioned and released to family members; Hicks also was questioned and released.

After an investigation that included cellphone records and social media information, a warrant

was issued July 16 for Hicks.

He was taken into custody and charged with child grooming; bond has been set at $250,000.

Authorities suspect that there may be other juvenile victims of Hicks, specifically in the Wilmington and Coal City areas, according to the news release.

The public is asked to contact Detective Burket or Detective Grozik at 815-727-8574 if they have any information “regarding sexual relations and/or sexual grooming type behaviors such as inappropriate social media or cellphone communications,” with Hicks, according to the news release.

JOLIET – Seven years after he beat an infant to death, a Joliet man was sentenced Friday to 34 years in prison.

Santos Loza, 34, got two trials in the death of 8-monthold Kevion Bender and was found guilty each time.

“This court has been involved in this case a long time. ... It’s a very sad case,” Judge Sarah Jones said as Loza stood before her bench with three defense attorneys and two prosecutors.

Sandra Sitko had been dating Loza for three months when she dropped off her son at his Joliet home on Oct. 26, 2008. Santos Loza She returned late that night with her other son and looked in from the doorway at Kevion, who appeared to be sleeping.

School closure scenarios to come under scrutiny

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX — Lincoln-Way school officials plan to tweak school closure scenarios for each of the four high schools in the coming weeks as they consider closing one of the buildings in an attempt to fix the district’s financial crisis.

Board members are focused on closing a school after Thursday’s meeting. The board recommended district administrators drum up more closure scenarios and look into bringing in an outside consultant.

State education officials are requiring Lincoln-Way come up with plan by September that will reduce the deficit spending that has landed the district on the state financial watch list.

Lincoln-Way Superintendent Scott Tingley already has given board members scenarios for the closing of each school, which focus on keeping feeder schools together if a high school closes or drawing new boundaries.

“I think the biggest discussion now is, do we look at keep-

Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 Superintendent Scott Tingley speaks Thursday about deficit reduction options during a board of education meeting in New Lenox. ing our junior highs? Or does the board look at implementing boundary lines and break the junior highs up?” Tingley said.

He said Friday he has not contacted the Illinois State Board of Education about closing a school but he has been in touch with its consultant.

Lincoln-Way has been working with ISBE and PMA Financial Network on resolving its budget deficits.

The numbers for a deficit reduction plan have already been vetted and school officials are ready to submit it from a “number standpoint,” Tingley said.

School officials do not have to notify ISBE of which school they plan to close, he said.

But from a personnel standpoint, he said if a school were to close, district officials would have to let teachers and staff know about a reduction in force SM

Local youths enjoy field trips, recreational activities

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Breeyona Burrell was beating the heat Friday with a towel on her head as she waited to eat a meal celebrating the Greater Joliet Area YMCA Summer Day Camp, which has seen greater need over the past several years.

Burrell, 13, was sitting with the friends she made at the Smith Family YMCA waiting for the annual barbecue to begin. The YMCA program, which has entered its third year, has given children such as Burrell a chance to go on field trips, play sports or make their own ice cream.

“I like swimming, the games and the field trips,” she said.

Membership has grown over the last several years, with summer day camp enrollment achieving a growth of 21 percent, according to a 2013 YMCA annual report. Maurice Fears, Smith Family YMCA executive director, said the level of growth shows the need for the organization’s services in the community.

“It’s a strong need in the community and we try to do our portion,” Fears said.

He said about 90 percent of children who come to the YMCA summer camp program receive financial assistance.

The Summer Day Camp offers children activities such as crafts, games and a camping experience with camp counselors. Children also go on weekly field trips. The camp program offers a free food program that provides nutritious meals and snacks.

Children in preschool and grades kindergarten through eighth grade are eligible for the program.

Fears said partner agencies such as The Salvation Army, Harvey Brooks Foundation and the Warren-Sharpe Community Center use their facility for swimming lessons, which the YMCA offers free of charge.

Melissa Parker, Smith Family YMCA youth and family director, said she’s been with the organization since she was 14.

She started out as a volunteer, camp counselor and then camp director.

“This is my passion. This is my heart. My heart is with the Y,” Parker said.

With the increasing enrollment at the YMCA branches, she said it’s “a little crazy but we’ve been working through it.” She said the YMCA always needs funding to help providing more recreation to youths.

The heat Friday was intense enough to cause all campers to head for shade under the trees near the Smith Family YMCA

Minooka District 111 preparing for upcoming school year

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – Students returning to Minooka Community High School Aug. 12 for the first day of classes will see a few updates at the main campus.

The Performing Arts Center got a fresh coat of paint over the summer, along with new seats, the last of which are being installed now.

“It really is a remarkable makeover,” Principal Ronald Kiesewetter said. “It’s a real classy venue.”

Kiesewetter also told the

school board Thursday night the concrete work has been completed in the summer stadium project, and the work on the bleachers is wrapping up.

District maintenance staff also are preparing for the beginning of school, the principal said. There is still some landscaping left to do after the hard winter killed several bushes and small trees.

Student registration will be July 22 and 23, with a new requirement this year. Seniors must have received a meningitis inoculation by the first day of school, according to Kiesewetter, which is a new state

requirement.

“It is policy that we will not allow students to begin school if their immunizations are not up to date,” the principal said.

Incoming freshman also must have received their required shots.

Kiesewetter also presented the board with students’ ACT scores from last spring, noting the general trend over the past five years is higher scores.

The district’s juniors scored an average of 22.5 in English, 21.1 in Math, 22 in reading and 21.9 in science with a 22 composite score. Each of the scores was higher than Illinois

state average, and students set school records for the past five years in English, reading, science and the composite score.

The school board also discussed creating an early retirement incentive program for certain administrators, such as instructional leaders.

If approved in the future, administrators eligible to retire with at least 15 years of fulltime teacher-certified service with the district, including five years as a district administrator, and have 35 years of service credit or are at least 60 years old, would be eligible.

The administrators would

have similar early retirement incentives as teachers, such as four years each of 6 percent increases in base salary. The key, according to Superintendent Jim Blanche, is that the administrator must declare participation in the incentive plan the first year they are eligible for it, with the exception of the upcoming school year.

The plan would benefit both the early retirees and the district, Blanche explained, with higher retirement benefits for the retirees and significant cost savings to the district when replacements are hired at lower salary levels.

U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, (right) talks with Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk after meeting with local leaders Friday to discuss federal highway funding.

Wednesday that keeps highway construction funded through Dec. 18.

Highway funding could be shut down if the full Congress does not support a spending measure by July 31, when the Highway Trust Fund is expected to become insolvent, according to Durbin.

Durbin said Senate Republicans have proposed a six-year highway bill that is funded for three of those years. Democrats will propose their own long-term measure, he said. There are disagree-

ments on how the bill should be funded.

“If we can get three years

here that have some national impact, and we need some help from Washington.”

JOLIET – U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, met with local business and government leaders Friday to talk about the prospects for long-term federal highway funding.

Durbin said both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate are working on multiyear highway bills, which would be a change from the short-term funding measures that have been the norm for 10 years.

“We’re a mess in Washington in a lot of ways,” Durbin told the business leaders.

“When it comes to the Highway Trust Fund, it’s unusually bad.”

Durbin said Congress has been passing highway funding bills good for a year or less, which he compared to getting a mortgage for six months.

“It’s madness,” he said.

Durbin spoke to a group of more than 30 business people at the office of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry. His appearance marked the second time last week that Democrats held events in Joliet to draw attention to the highway bill. On Monday, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, took a tour with local officials of key spots in need of highway funding in Joliet. Foster’s district includes Joliet.

The House passed a bill

of funding, we will finally have broken out of this shortterm, short-term, short-term thing, and plans can be made,” Durbin said.

Local leaders at the meeting brought up projects in need of funding.

James Roolf, president of First Midwest Bank’s Joliet Banking Center, said while the Illiana Expressway plan has been put on hold by Gov. Bruce Rauner, it has not been killed and “is still vitally important to our area.”

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said the city “could use some help from Washington” in building infrastructure to accommodate a growing distribution industry. He noted plans to build a Houbolt Road bridge over the Des Plaines River to create a new entry point to CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Joliet.

John Greuling, chief executive of the Will County Center for Economic Development, said, “We believe there are some projects on the books

Sleuths trace fate of 1st black male slave freed by Lincoln

MINNEAPOLIS – Researchers believe they found the grave of a man who could be considered the first black male slave freed

by Abraham Lincoln, tracking his final resting place to the cemetery of a former Minnesota psychiatric hospital.

William Henry Costley was just 10 months old in 1841 when Lincoln, who was still a young lawyer, won an Illinois Supreme Court case freeing Costley’s mother from indentured servitude – a status that historians say would have been akin to enslavement for the black woman and child at that time. That was 22 years before Lincoln, as president, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring slaves in rebel states not under Union control free.

Nance Legins-Costley and her son William were from Pekin, which is what drew the interest of a local amateur historian, Carl Adams. Adams, who now lives in Stuttgart, Germany, spent years researching her and her children’s lives. Last year he published “Nance: Trials of the First Slave Freed by Abraham Lincoln – A True Story of Nance Legins-Costley.”

In his book, Adams writes that after winning her lengthy legal battle for freedom, Legins-Costley, who had been born to slaves and sold twice before Lincoln took up her cause, lived to a ripe old age in Pekin. Military records helped Adams retrace her son’s steps, but finding his gravesite

required the help of a curator at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois, and a historical researcher in Minnesota.

“We are 99.9 percent certain that this is William H. Costley,” Adams said of the gravesite.

William Costley enlisted as a private in the 29th Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops from Illinois in 1864, three years after the Civil War started following the election of Lincoln as president.

Costley was wounded during the war, and after Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered in April 1865, Costley’s regiment was dispatched to Galveston, Texas. Adams said he may have witnessed Gen. Gordon Granger’s June 19, 1865, declaration there that the state’s 250,000 slaves were now free.

That date is now celebrated as the holiday Juneteenth.

Cornelius said Adams has done a remarkable job of pulling together the history of Costley and his family and resolving the discrepancies to locate his grave given that “vanishingly few records” exist on most people who lived on the margins of society because they were slaves, poor or illiterate, as Costley was.

Bar patron shot by man questioning his citizenship

CHICAGO – Police say a man posing as a Chicago police officer shot another man in the face with a pellet gun during an argument at a bar in which he questioned the victim’s citizenship and national origin.

The suspect, 45-year-old Michael Groh, has been charged with a felony hate crime, impersonation of a peace officer and aggravated battery. He was scheduled to appear in court Saturday.

It was not clear if he already had

an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

The argument took place around 1 a.m. Friday.

The victim was hospitalized in serious condition. Groh is accused of shooting him in the face and the back of the head.

Witnesses say the shooter identified himself as a police officer.

Chicago police say he had badges and handcuffs.

Kirk explains critical comments about Iran deal

CHICAGO – Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk says he allowed his anger to get the best of him as he criticized the multinational agreement designed to keep Iran from attaining nuclear weapons.

During a Boston radio interview earlier this week, the Republican accused President Obama of wanting Iran to get nuclear weapons. He added thousands in the Middle East are going to lose their lives “because of this decision by Barack Hussein Obama.”

Despite his explanation Friday of why he made the comments, he did not apologize and held to his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal.

Kirk, who suffered a stroke three years ago, is seeking re-election. Democratic Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth, who wants to challenge Kirk, is calling Kirk’s comments “over-the-top.”

Last month Kirk sparked controversy by describing bachelor South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham as a “bro with no ho.”

dollars from the Navy Federal Credit Union.

Twenty-four-year-old Leonard E. Parker Jr. of Calumet City is charged with financial institution fraud, aggravated identity theft and filing false claims against the United States.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced his indictment Friday.

Parker’s attorney did not immediately respond to voicemails seeking comment Saturday.

Prosecutors say Parker obtained the personal information of fellow Marines while stationed at Camp Foster in Okinawa, Japan.

They say he and a co-defendant used the information to transfer nearly $139,000 from the Marines’ accounts into bank accounts belonging to people they recruited into the scheme.

Prosecutors say they used the funds to make purchases.

Heroin overdose deaths continue to climb in Madison Co.

CHICAGO – A former U.S. Marine from a Chicago suburb is accused of stealing the identities of fellow Marines to illegally procure tens of thousands of

ST. LOUIS – A heroin task force meets regularly. Local students are given routine anti-drug talks.

And still, heroin overdose deaths in Madison County in southwestern Illinois continue to climb.

Coroner Steve Nonn said this week that 28 people have suffered fatal heroin overdoses so far this year in the county just outside of St. Louis. With more than five months remaining in 2015, that total already exceeds the 26 heroin-related deaths recorded in both 2011 and 2014.

“The problem that we’re having is reflective of what’s going on nationwide,” Nonn said.

Another 11 deaths in the county this year are due to prescription drug overdoses, Nonn said, though the cause of death in some of those cases is preliminary pending final toxicology results.

Man charged with stealing identities of fellow Marines

Nine of the 28 heroin overdoses also await confirmation via drug screenings, but Nonn said that evidence found near the victims’ bodies coupled with past histories of abuse indicate a “high probability “ that heroin is to blame.

The number of heroin-related deaths is potentially higher since the coroner statistics don’t include victims who overdosed in Madison County but were taken to hospitals or other locations outside the county.

Madison County traces the current heroin epidemic back to 2009, when just seven fatal overdoses were recorded. It’s a pattern seen elsewhere in Illinois and around the country: DuPage County reported 46 heroin deaths in 2013 and 43 in 2012 after seeing them number in the 20s from 2007 to 2011.

And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 8,200 deaths from heroin use nationally in 2013, a nearly fourfold increase since 2002.

Madison County’s sheriff and top prosecutor formed a heroin task force early last year after three overdose victims were found within a five-hour span.

County leaders also have shared their anti-drug message with more than 12,000 students the past two years at school assemblies – an outreach effort that Nonn identifies as one of the few recent bright spots.

“We still have such a long road ahead of us to end the grief and suffering,” he said. “But it is reassuring that I have not had a death certificate cross my desk with a high school student’s name on it along with the words ‘heroin overdose’ since we began the full court press of public information and education in 2013.”

LOS ANGELES – A fast-moving wildfire that swept across a packed California interstate, sending people running for their lives, was burning more calmly Saturday as rain fell and temperatures dropped.

The fire had burned over Interstate 15 on Friday in Cajon Pass, a mountainous area 55 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

It destroyed 20 vehicles on the freeway linking Southern California and Las Vegas before burning three homes and 44 more vehicles in the nearby community of Baldy Mesa.

The fire’s size remained steady Saturday at 5.5 square miles and was 5 percent contained. Interstate 15 reopened and activity began returning to normal.

The Saudi Interior Ministry accused those arrested over the “past few weeks” of involvement in several attacks, including a suicide bombing in May that killed 22 people in the eastern village of al-Qudeeh. It was the deadliest militant assault in the kingdom in more than a decade.

Military site shootings affirm FBI’s concern over terrorism ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The deadly shootings at military sites in Tennessee illustrate the threat that FBI officials have warned about: violence directed against a vulnerable government target by a lone gunman with apparent terrorist aspirations.

The FBI has not detailed a motive, but Thursday’s attacks that killed four Marines and one sailor are under investigation as a potential act of terrorism, with authorities combing through the gunman’s past to look for travel, contacts and online writings.

The rampage unfolded as the federal government has raised alarms about the online spread of terrorist propaganda, including repeated exhortations by groups such as the Islamic State for sympathizers to target police officers and military installations.

It came two months after two men opened fire outside a Prophet Mohammed car-

toon contest in Texas before being killed by police, and during a year when several dozen people in the United States have been charged with supporting terrorism, with more than 10 arrested in the month before the July 4 holiday.

“This is the new normal,” said Will McCants, a terrorism expert at the Brookings Institution in Washington. If a terrorist group is looking to influence public opinion and generate fear, he said, “this kind of tactic has a lot going for it.”

One federal law enforcement official said investigators did not immediately find an extensive online presence involving the gunman, 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, or evidence he was directly influenced or inspired by the Islamic State. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

But the line between inspired and directed is blurred in an age of perva-

sive social media, where anyone with a computer or smartphone can be exposed to what FBI Director James Comey has called “poison” propaganda from terrorist organizations.

Law enforcement officials describe an ongoing challenge in distinguishing those who merely consume and share messages and those actually motivated to commit violence.

Authorities said there’s no question social media platforms, coupled with the small-scale plots being devised, have made terrorist ideology more accessible than a decade ago. It can be easy for those who read messages, but do not post their own thoughts, to avoid law enforcement scrutiny.

“They have now spent a year, maybe a little longer, investing in this strategy,” Comey told reporters last week, in a reference to IS. “And what you’re seeing now is proof that it works.

Americans all over the place responding to this constant push and feed and buzz.”

Specialty chemical companies likely to outperform market Dear Mr. Berko: I have a five-year horizon and $15,000 to $20,000 of new money to invest.

My broker has suggested buying 100 shares each of three specialty chemical companies, and I would like your opinions of them. They are Balchem, PolyOne and RPM International. – GS, Wilmington, North Carolina Dear GS: I am not unimpressed. You are a fortunate lady, because this broker selected three excellent issues, each of which should do better than the market during the next few years. You might also ask him or her about Minerals Technologies (MTX$64), Ashland (ASH-$119) and LyondellBasell (LYB-$101).

These three specialty chemical companies are long-term favorites of mine, and I expect that they will also outperform the market during your five-year time horizon.

Balchem (BCPC-$55) is a very classy $675 million-revenue designer, manufacturer and seller of specialty performance ingredients and prod-

ucts for the food, nutritional, feed, pharmaceutical and medical sterilization markets.

Products from the animal nutrition and health segment generate 52 percent of revenues. The sensory effects (nutritional and pharmaceutical) segment provides 38 percent of revenues. And the specialty products segment is responsible for the remaining 10 percent. BCPC, with only 800 employees, is one of the most interesting and consistently profitable specialty chemical companies I know. Its recent investment in new technology and production equipment should greatly improve bottom-line growth, and management, with plenty of cash, is looking for complementary acquisitions. It’s a classy long-term investment, and its steady revenue and earnings growth during the past 15 years suggests that BCPC’s products are very nearly impervious to recession, inflation and the economic cycle. After two 50 percent stock splits (2006 and 2010), there are just

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko 31 million shares outstanding.

Wall Street suggests a $90 price target in 36 months and a 22 percent increase in earnings. I think BCPC has the right stuff to be an exceptional mediumto long-term investment in your portfolio.

PolyOne (POL-$39) produces 3,500 different grades of thermoplastic compounds, polyvinyl chloride resins, polymer colorings and additives used in vinyl flooring, bottles, piping, appliance parts, wiring and cable coating. Most of POL’s products are made from petroleum and natural gas. And because the prices of oil, natural gas and coal have fallen in the past year, POL has passed some of that savings to its large customer base. However, there is plenty of room left to grow operating margins to 12.8 percent and grow its dividend by 30 percent this

year and by 20 percent in 2016.

This $3.7 billion-revenue company has 7,000 employees and, since 1927, has been providing specialized polymer materials and solutions, with operations in materials, services, unique polymer formulations, colorings, additive systems and packaging systems for various industry processes. BlackRock, Fidelity, Vanguard and AllianceBernstein hold significant positions, and their price consensus for the next three years is $65-$70. Meanwhile, Value Line, Thomson Reuters and Market Edge have a longterm bullish recommendation on POL, and so does Goldman Sachs.

RPM International’s (RPM$49) do-it-yourself products are found in every Home Depot and Lowe’s store, every hardware store, most hobby shops and certainly every handyman’s kit bag. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, RPM was probably in the portfolios of most investment clubs because of its exceptional history of growing revenues, earnings and divi-

dends. This impressive special chemical company has, since 1947, been home-ported in Medina, Ohio. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover, and in this instance, investors can judge RPM by its products, which last year booked over $5 billion in revenues.

Some of those DIY products that you might recognize are Rust-Oleum, DAP, Wolman, Krud Kutter, Mathys, Spraymate, Zinsser, Restore, DayGlo Color, Mohawk, Tremco, Carboline, Watco, Pettit, Modern Masters, Stonhard, Vandex, Ecoloc, Dryvit, Testors and Tor Coatings. Earnings for 2016 should improve by 20 percent, to $2.73 a share. The 2 percent dividend is expected to grow by 5 percent annually. Net profit margins are expected to reach a record high of 7.4 percent. And the Street has a three-year target price of $85.

National Occupational and Process Safety Conference in May, CITGO took home seven of AFPM’s awards for outstanding safety performance in 2014.

CITGO was recognized for exemplary performance for minimizing occupational injuries and illnesses and significant process safety events at its three refineries, according to a news release from the company. CITGO’s Lemont refinery received the AFPM Award for Safety Achievement (Years), which recognizes facilities that worked 365 consecutive days without long-term occupational injuries or illnesses and without process safety events with significant consequences.

Additionally, each of the three CITGO facilities received the AFPM’s Meritorious Award for Safety Performance, which recognizes petroleum refining and petro-

chemical facilities with a total recordable incident rate of 0.6 or less without certain significant process safety events; as well as the AFPM Award for Safety Achievement (Hours), which distinguishes facility recipients that worked 1 million or more employee hours without longterm injuries, as well as significant process safety events.

OUR VIEW

Governor should sign tweak to state’s Open Meetings Act Legislation has reached Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desk that tweaks the Illinois Open Meetings Act in favor of the public.

The governor should sign it into law.

House Bill 175 expands the window of opportunity for people to report possible violations of the Open Meetings Act to the Public Access Counselor’s office – the branch of the Illinois Attorney General’s office that has binding authority to enforce open-government laws and punish offenders.

The bill would extend the deadline to file a complaint to within 60 days of the discovery of the violation.

The law as it is now places the deadline at within 60 days of the purported violation itself.

Regarding the word “discovery,” the nuance is important.

In some cases, a member of the public, or a news reporter, may not learn of a potential violation until a month after the initial board meeting. That’s when minutes of the previous meeting are approved and made available to the public.

With about 30 days already expired, under the current law, a person with questions about a possible violation of the Open Meetings Act has only 30 additional days to file a complaint before the deadline passes.

House Bill 175 would allow the 60-day clock to begin ticking when the potential violation is discovered – not when it occurred.

Limits on the proposed tweak are sensible.

Complaints can’t be filed for possible violations that occurred more than 2 years ago.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

The law would not be retroactive.

Meetings that occurred before the effective date of the legislation aren’t affected by it.

What about this business of the “discovery” of a possible violation? Couldn’t people who knew about violations, but who dragged their feet about filing complaints, fall back on the new law to gain more time?

The legislation simply states that the extension of time is allowed for violations “discovered at a later date, not exceeding 2 years after the alleged violation, by a person utilizing reasonable intelligence. ...”

So the public and reporters would basically be on their honor that they discovered the violation when they say they did.

However, in practice, we expect they’ll have to provide sufficient documentation regarding their “discovery” date claims for the Public Access Counselor to accept their complaints.

The bill was inspired by actions taken by the Oakwood Hills Village Board in July 2013.

Members met without advance notice and discussed in closed session a proposed $450 million power plant, which is a topic not included in the list of Open Meetings Act exemptions allowed for closed sessions.

The secret meeting did not become publicly known until a year later, but under the current law, the 60-day violation reporting window had long since expired.

House Bill 175 is a common-sense tweak to the Open Meetings Act that has our support.

The governor should sign it without delay.

A fresh start with Iran deal - or just more of the same?

After years of negotiating, the U.S., the European Union and five of the world’s most powerful nations finally have agreed to a nuclear accord with Iran. The media site Al-Monitor called it “a new chapter with Iran.”

Among many professionals, the deal has sold itself. This is the same deal that was announced months ago as a framework, and exceeded all expectations. If anything, it’s better. Ernest Moniz, the nuclear physicist who advised the Obama administration, tweeted, “The #IranDeal is based on hard science. Our nuclear experts & #NationalLabs helped shape the negotiations w/ rigorous technical analysis.”

Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt said, “Several missed opportunities for Iran deal in past years. Mistrust towards Iran was too dominant. But better late than never?”

“Better late than never” is a wise assessment. Polling has consistently shown the American people support an agreement with Iran. When Ronald Reagan made a deal with the Soviets, Americans were willing to accept his approach of “trust, but verify.”

Today, Americans are in agreement

VIEWS Donna Brazile with a more cautious Obama. They accept his word that “this deal is not built on trust. It is built on verification.”

Foreign Policy, a publication with but occasional good words for Obama, ran an analysis with the headline: “It’s a Damn Good Deal.”

The author, Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program, was woken at 3 a.m. by a beeping cellphone with the text of the treaty. “Bleary eyed and coffee deprived,” he read the whole text “and I liked what I found.”

When it comes to the politicians in both Iran and the United States, however, acceptance is harder. Congressional Democrats were supportive of Obama, yet, as they are charged with reviewing the agreement, most deferred judgment until they had read the text.

Reporters found Republicans ready with their press releases before the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Rick Barnard Morris

Non-union workers should contribute

To the Editor: Scott Reeder’s latest screed was a not-so-veiled attempt to promote his and his paymasters’ goal of pushing Right to Work for their right wing financers.

As usual they push right to work as the solution of all of a state’s problems, more employment, and great job growth, while the reality has been for workers lower wages and less benefits, while little or no increase in job growth that can be directly tied to the law.

His focus in this op-ed was on collective bargaining fees collected from non-union employees of a bargaining unit.

The usual claim that the portion of the bargaining and contract maintenance fees collected from these nonunion members is somehow spent for political purposes, not related to the contract.

In 1977 and again in 1986 the Supreme Court allowed and

later required that unions file paperwork with the Department of Labor forms which document how the dues monies are spent, and which are allocated for political activity.

In Illinois the IEA political action fees account for about 12 percent of total dues. That 12 percent is the amount that non-union members are not required to pay. In Illinois, about 15 percent of all employees in a bargaining unit are not union members.

Some of these non-union members that Reeder supports apparently think that they should not have to contribute to the costs of bargaining the contract that provides them with higher wages, and improved benefits, that they would not have if it were not for the union-negotiated contract.

They wish to ride for free on the backs of their union member co-workers. Perhaps they should give back any of those improvements in their wages and benefits that were

negotiated for them.

Joliet a ‘hotbed’ of baseball excellence

To the Editor: I was recently reading an absolutely wonderful article written by Sports Editor Dick Goss concerning the best area high school baseball player for the 2015 spring season. This brings to mind the very definite fact that the Joliet area has always been a “hotbed” for grade, high school and college baseball tradition and talent.

From former Joliet area major legends Bill Gullickson, Larry Gura, Jeff Reed, Mark Grant, Eddie Spiezio and Jesse Barfield to today’s local heroes, Joliet and Will County baseball continued to be a source of incredible pride and unmatched success stories.

Sincerely, David Marco Joliet

In diplomacy, negotiations don’t give either side ideal outcome • BRAZILE

Continued from page 32 agreement was even announced. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, knowing this is a history-making deal, attempted to piggyback on the headlines by saying it was a “mistake of historic proportions.”

Iran’s minister of foreign affairs and chief negotiator at Vienna, Javad Zarif, had it no easier. The New Yorker reported that, “Some [Iranian] lawmakers suggested impeaching Zarif. One hardliner called him a ‘traitor.’”

The magazine concluded, “For both sides in Vienna, the adversaries back home may prove more formidable than those across the table.”

The Republican leadership has had a media blitz prepared for weeks. When lawmakers go home in August, special interest lobbyists affiliated with them will

throw millions of dollars into districts to intimidate Democratic congressmen.

Congress has a say. It should have a robust debate.

But the president has a veto that he will use. It will take two-thirds of each chamber to override Obama’s veto.

That’s 290 votes in the House, and 67 in the Senate – an unlikely scenario without large-scale defections of Democrats.

Let’s not forget that Obama ran on this, and won twice, both with strong progressive backing and a strong majority of the country choosing diplomacy over war.

This is what diplomacy looks like: hard-nosed negotiations, which don’t yield either side’s ideal outcome, but through which we can get the core things we want.

In this case, an Iran with no path to a nuclear weapon.

We don’t have to imagine the alternative, because

we saw it for nine years in Iraq, which is why we chose Obama’s path in the first place. This is something every Democrat should be proud of, and every American should embrace as a fresh start.

This is a victory for the whole world – a deal negotiated by all of the world’s major powers. It’s telling that Netanyahu directed his full ire at Obama, but had not a single cross word for the leaders of Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the European Union.

They were all present at the table. All have deeply vested interests in the outcome, and all had their input.

Let’s be real here: What made this deal so tricky was creating a situation that genuinely blocked every path to a bomb while allowing Iran dignity. The deal allows its leaders to avoid looking as if they’d inflicted years of suffering and sanctions on their

people for nothing.

We now have extremely effective means of accountability up and down Iran’s supply chain to make certain they are not working on a weapon. If they break the deal or cheat, we will catch them, and sanctions will go back on.

This deal is a compromise. That means nobody got everything they wanted and all had to give up things they really wanted. It does not end Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. It does freeze any attempt at nuclear weapons for periods from 10 to 25 years, giving us time to make the deal permanent.

Establishing contact with Iran allows us to influence Iran in ways that would otherwise be limited to military action.

Iran is still outrageously sponsoring arms to Hamas and Hezbollah. It has formed a cyber-warrior team that has the same elite status as

its nuclear scientists. But neither Russia nor China were model nations when Reagan made a nuclear arms deal and Nixon recognized China. Those acts of diplomacy did not end the ideological conflicts, but they did make the world safer.

This deal is the same leap of faith that Nixon and Reagan took. In their cases, it paid off. President Obama, like his predecessors, is not naive. He knows who he’s dealing with.

But, as Benjamin Rhodes, a key national security adviser to Obama, said, “The president said many times he’s willing to step out of the rut of history [to stop] a spiral towards conflict.”

To the Editor: June 26, 2015, has to rank as one of the saddest days in American history when five unelected federal judges overturned the laws of 30 states whose constitutions defined marriage to be between one man and one woman.

Those state constitutional amendments, which were passed by a majority of the citizens of those states, have now been voided by the judicial decree of five unelected judges who decided to force so-called same-sex marriage on every state in our nation.

They used as their reason the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of former slaves. That amendment had nothing to do with the right to a same-sex marriage.

In other words, those five judges made up a new right which, according to Chief Justice John Roberts, had nothing to do with our Constitution.

Justice Antonin Scalia went even further in his dissent calling the decision a “judicial Putsch.” A “putsch” is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “a secretly plotted and suddenly executed attempt to overthrow a government” and that is what happened June 26, except maybe not too secretly.

So now we are becoming more and more a nation no longer ruled by the people or their elected representatives, but by an oligarchy of five unelected judges. An oligarchy is defined as a government ruled by the few or a small group.

This is exactly what Thomas Jefferson feared as expressed in a letter he wrote in 1820: “To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”

Unfortunately for our nation, what he feared has come true.

Strong summer gives Minooka hope for spring

By ROB OESTERLE

Minooka’s Jackson Sheppard runs to third base against Lincoln-Way North on Thursday in the Lockport Regional title game at Ed Flink Field.

Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said he likes aggressive baserunning by the team.

roesterle@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Heading into Thursday’s Lockport Regional title game against Lincoln-Way North in the summer state baseball tournament, Minooka’s team had put up a 13-0 record. Teams don’t reel off 13 straight wins by hanging their heads and giving up when they are down.

Even though Thursday’s game ended in a 2-1 loss, the Indians displayed the never-saydie attitude that had allowed them to reach the championship game.

In their tournament opener Monday against Plainfield Central, Minooka trailed, 3-1, after 4½ innings before scoring seven runs in the fifth en route to a 9-3 win. In the quarterfinals, the Indians trailed Plainfield North, 6-5, after 5½ innings, then scored six in the bottom of the sixth to win that game, 11-6.

After Lincoln-Way North’s Nick Figus led off Thursday’s game with a home run, it would have to be another come-from-behind type of day for the Indians.

That first inning could have been worse for Minooka. After Figus homered on the second pitch, Indians pitcher Brandon Rossiter got the next batter to fly out, then hit a batter. After another flyout, there was another hit batter and a walk, which loaded the bases. But Rossiter bore down and got a called third strike on a 3-2 pitch to end the inning.

He was very stingy after that and didn’t allow a runner past second. He was relieved

by Tyler Fitzgerald after walking the leadoff batter in the top of the sixth.

“That was an atypical game for Brandon,” Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said. “He normally is around the plate, so for him to hit a couple guys and walk four isn’t like him.

“But, he’s a gamer, and he gutted it out.”

Meanwhile, the Minooka offense, which had put up 28 runs in its three wins before Thursday, had trouble getting anything going. The Indians didn’t have a runner until Joe Butler doubled to center with

two outs in the bottom of the fourth. Rossiter, who was 7 for 13 in the four regional games, singled to lead off the bottom of the fifth, but was erased on a force play.

Then came the bottom of the sixth. Pinch-hitter Ben Jaworski, who had tied Monday’s game with a sacrifice fly in a pinch-hitting role, led off.

The burly junior caught hold of a Matt Blaney offering and deposited it beyond the fence in left to tie the game at 1.

Two outs later, Butler nearly repeated Jaworski’s feat, but his ball was hit to dead center, where it bounced at the base of the fence for a double.

“That part of the park is a little too deep for me,” Butler laughed. “I was able to square up a couple of pitches and hit them well.”

The next batter, Logan O’Brien, then hit a grounder toward left, but Lincoln-Way North shortstop Ben Troike made a diving stop deep in the hole. Butler rounded third, turned and saw the ball rolling away from Troike, then started for home. However, Troike was able to make a quick recovery and throw Butler out at home.

Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com

Minooka’s Drew Turek (right) makes a running catch on a foul ball in the Indians’ 11-6 win Tuesday over Plainfield North in a Lockport Regional semifinal.

That play, however, was typical of Minooka’s aggressive style of play.

“I will never be upset about aggressive baserunning,” Petrovic said. “I was waving him around, but Joe hesitated a little bit. If he didn’t hesitate, I still don’t know if he would have made it, but it would have been a lot closer.

“The thing about this team has been that they come to the game expecting to win. At the start of the season last spring,

we didn’t have that attitude all the time. But now we do, and that’s what we expect out of Minooka baseball. I hate to lose, and the kids hate to lose.

Winning is a mentality, and we have that mentality now.”

As for the summer as a whole for the Indians, Petrovic and his players liked what they saw and have high hopes for the future.

“I really like this team,” Butler said. “We are solid everywhere on the field, and our

pitchers have done a good job.

I am looking forward to the spring.”

“Everyone was really into every game,” Rossiter said.

“It’s a fun group of guys to be around, and we walk into the park knowing we are going to win. I really feel great about the spring after spending these summer months together.”

“It was great to see this team start to jell this summer,” Petrovic said. “A lot of guys got to play a lot of innings, so we know what we have when next spring comes up. Not everyone can be the star, but we have guys like Ben Jaworski.

He knows his role is to come in as a pinch-hitter and get something deep for us, which he did against Plainfield Central and he did here against Lincoln-Way North. Every team needs guys that know what their role is and fill that role.

“It was also important for us to have some success this summer. We struggled at the start of last year, and there were times when I could feel that we would walk through the gate not feeling like we would win.

Now, these guys walk in knowing they will win. That makes me excited for the spring.”

THE HERALD-NEWS 2015 BOYS VOLLEYBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, July 19, 2015

NEW LENOX – When you’re recognized as one of the top volleyball players in the country at your age, you wouldn’t think that competing in high school would be all that important.

But that’s certainly not how Lincoln-Way West’s Michael Wexter looked at things.

The Warriors senior enjoyed this season a great deal, other than the fact his highly ranked team saw its year come to an early end in the regional finals to Lincoln-Way Central.

Wexter’s performance as both a setter and outside hitter made him the obvious choice as The Herald-News’ 2015 Boys Volleyball Player of the Year.

“It was a great season for us, and we set a school record for most wins,” Wexter said.

“Our team was pretty much best friends on and off the court, and that was kind of a different experience for me, and it was really cool to be able to play with such good players that were coming from all different ages and years in school.

“High school is a lot different than competing with club or Team USA. In high school, we’d sing songs or make up random jokes in huddles instead of actually talking about the game. It’s more light-hearted, but we still kept the competition to a high level. It’s fun competing in high school – whereas with club or USA, sometimes it feels like it gets a little too intense.”

Although Wexter likes competing against the nation’s best – as he’s doing right now in Des Moines, Iowa – he also enjoyed playing at West. He finished with 468 assists, 251 kills and 72 aces to help coach Brian Thorp’s 31-5 squad be ranked among the state’s best all year.

THE HERALD-NEWS 2015 ALL-AREA BOYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM

Tremendous balance on All-Area team

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com One reason why this past boys volleyball season was so interesting was because of its balance. On any given night, several area teams were capable of beating anyone else.

As a result, it is difficult to say any one team deserves more all-area selections than others, and that’s why I ended up giving two picks apiece to what I considered to be our top nine teams. Three other squads received one selection each.

Not surprisingly, there were a lot more deserving candidates than there were spots on the team. With so many athletes being in the

mix, I deferred to seniors in many cases.

As a result, 17 of this year’s 21 All-Area picks are recent graduates.

The 2015 All-Area squad is led by Lincoln-Way West’s Michael Wexter, a two-time selection who is our Player of the Year. Other two-time picks include Joliet Catholic’s Tony Allen and Blake Reardon, Plainfield Central’s Noah Randall and Plainfield North’s Chris Paige.

AREA ROUNDUP

Ron Klover hits the ball Friday in the Joliet Park District’s 10th annual Long Drive Competition at Inwood Golf Course.

Klover was second in the MAC (Middle-Age Crisis) division.

Slammers out to steal one from Bandits SUBMITTED REPORTS

Dick Goss – dgoss@ shawmedia.com

JOLIET PARK DISTRICT 10TH ANNUAL LONG DRIVE COMPETITION

McCarthy hits 363-yarder in JPD long drive event; Giese wins MAC

By DICK GOSS dgoss@media.com JOLIET – And, just think, the landing area was soft because of all the rain this area has seen.

Imagine if the big boys had been hitting onto concrete-like conditions that have existed by mid-July in some previous summers.

Despite the sticky, steamy afternoon and evening Friday, the long-ball hitters descended on Inwood Golf Course for the Joliet Park District’s 10th annual Long Drive Competition.

The numbers they posted were jaw-dropping, especially in the Open division.

The grid where tee shots must land in order to count is about 40 yards wide, so distance and accuracy go hand in hand.

Each player gets six shots that he must hit within three minutes.

Patrick McCarthy came away with the top prize in the Open division with a 363-yard poke. That may sound like a number that would win the championship with ease, but that was hardly the case.

Mark Swinford finished second with his 357-yard smash.

Steve Kois claimed third place at 353 yards, and Roger Steele and Jon Mikrut checked in at

350. Yes, five competitors were only 13 yards apart with drives ranging from 350 to 363.

But as much as the big boys leave the spectators in awe, what really makes the long drive contest a success is the competition in other divisions.

Take the MAC, for instance.

That’s the Middle-Age Crisis division. It’s for golfers ages 45 to 54.

Ron Klover set the early pace in the MAC with a 310-yard drive. Based on history, that had a good chance to hold up.

Only it didn’t. That’s because Tony Giese got up and drilled a 315-yarder, leaving Klover with the runner-up winnings.

“I’m happy,” Klover said afterward. “I did as good as I can do. I’m 57, so I should have been in the Seniors, but I couldn’t be here at the time that division played.

“I’ll take 310 anytime. I knew there was one guy, if he hit one, he would beat me.”

That one guy was Giese, 46 and an assistant baseball coach at Joliet Catholic who dethroned 2014 MAC champion John Platt, a local golf teaching pro and the Providence boys coach. Platt gave it a good run, hitting 300- and 301-yard drives and claiming third place.

“You watch – next year, he [Platt] will come out here all

stretched out and ready to go,” Giese said. “I guarantee he will be on the machines at Mistwood [where he teaches]. He will have everything calibrated. He’s got all the technology. I should get a 10-yard handicap just for that.

“I’m just a baseball player out here hacking it up.”

Giese said Platt will not be alone. There are others who will make repeating in 2016 a most difficult chore.

“The ground will be different,” he said. “It will be a whole different thing. These guys know how to hit the ball and make it run. But, sometimes, it’s good to just let it rip – which is what I tend to do – and see what happens.”

Al Van Gampler, another contestant better known for his baseball and softball prowess, walloped a 298-yard drive to win the Seniors division, which is for ages 55 to 61. Dan Phillips was a close second at 295 yards, and Rich Shroba took third at 276.

Chet Banks prevailed in the Super Seniors division for ages 62 and older with a 257-yarder.

Lee Gombash checked in at 248 for second, and Tom Oberts was third at 243.

Darlene Tulua took the Women’s division title with a 246-yard drive. Fran Gleason was second at 225.

JOLIET – The Slammers will be out to steal one from the Bandits in the annual “Battle of the Sexes” softball game Monday night at Silver Cross Field.

The Slammers will take on the Chicago Bandits of the National Pro Fastpitch League in the 7:05 p.m. game.

Among the pitchers the Bandits are likely to throw at the Slammers are a pair of big-time lefthanders – Coal City graduate Kirsten Verdun, a former All-American at DePaul; and Monica Abbott, generally regarded as one of the top two or three pitchers in the world.

Bandits coach Michael Steuerwald is returning for a sixth season with the team after taking a year off, and has helped lead the Bandits to NPF Championship appearances in each of his previous five seasons, with a victory in 2011.

Youth softball teams, high school age and younger, that purchase group or fundraiser tickets will be allowed on the field with the Bandits from 5 to 6 p.m. Gates open to all fans at 6:05.

All softball players must wear their jersey top. No parents or coaches are allowed on the field during that time. If the age of your team is too young to be on the field without an adult, then they cannot go on the field.

Both the Slammers and Bandits will be available for autographs/photos following the game.

Last year, the Slammers took on the Netherlands National team in the “Battle of the Sexes”

and lost, 4-0.

Individual tickets are $16 for a club seat, $14 reserved, $7 lawn, with a $2 savings for preordering.

Group tickets are $10 each for 20 or more reserved seats.

ROYALS 7, WHITE SOX 6 (13 INN.)

Bullpen falters for Sox in extra innings

Johnson leads after wind wait

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Even with 155 years of history, the British Open still can serve up some strange twists at St. Andrews.

Dustin Johnson gave Saturday some semblance of order.

The second round lasted nearly 39 hours from the first tee shot to the final putt.

Brooks Koepka hit one putt in 30 minutes, and he still might be on the 11th green except he refused to keep going because his golf ball wouldn’t stay put.

Jordan Spieth, who won the Masters and U.S. Open on the strength of his great short game, three-putted five times

in one round and still kept alive his hopes of a Grand Slam.

If that wasn’t enough, 40 mph gusts that led to a 10½hour stoppage meant the British Open will end on Monday for the first time in 27 years.

For all the chaos on the Old Course, and for all the debate whether play should have even started Saturday because of the wind, Johnson only cared about the finish.

He drove the 18th green and took two putts from 150 feet for birdie and a 3-under 69.

That gave him a one-shot lead over Danny Willett of England, who for the second straight year did not hit a single shot in the British Open

on Saturday. Last year, it was because he missed the cut.

This time, it was because he finished his second round Friday.

Not so unusual – at least not now – was Tiger Woods.

He missed the cut for the third time in the last four majors.

One month after a threeputt from 12 feet cost him a shot at the U.S. Open, Johnson walked the Old Course with a swagger. He did enough damage over 13 holes Friday that even a couple of bogeys didn’t get him off track, and he showed in the short time he played Saturday he could handle the wind.

“Every aspect of your game is challenged,” said Johnson, who was at 10-under 134.

NASCAR XFINITY SERIES – NEW HAMPSHIRE

Hamlin holds off Dillon in fiery finish

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press LOUDON, N.H. – Denny Hamlin turned sideways into Kyle Busch and had Austin Dillon all bent out of shape.

Hamlin roughed up the field and bruised some feelings, when he nudged Dillon out of the lead Saturday and raced to his second NASCAR Xfinity Series victory of the season.

Hamlin had the dominant car and led 145 of the 200 laps at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. But when Dillon briefly took the lead, Hamlin put his No. 20 into the left side of Dillon’s car at lap 179 and knocked him out of the way. Hamlin was angry because he said Dil-

lon jumped the restart, forcing him to make the hit-and-run pass any driver should attempt in that situation.

Dillon lashed out after the race and said Hamlin purposely tried to wreck him and vowed payback, although he stopped short of saying it would come in Sunday’s Sprint Cup race.

“What is racing if you can’t race side by side for more than a corner? He never even went through a corner with me. The whole race,” Dillon said. “Didn’t want to, just moved me, missed the corner, wrecked me. I’m fine with racing rough. I promise you, I can do it to anybody.”

Hamlin and Dillon feuded

in 2012 after they tangled in the second-tier series race at Texas Motor Speedway. It carried over when Hamlin leveled a nepotism charge against Dillon, grandson of team owner Richard Childress, saying, “He got his ride because of his name,” “He called me a spoiled rich kid at Texas two years ago. And I hate it,” Dillon said. “He said check the last name. I said my last name’s Dillon, not Childress. But he is my grandfather. I’ll always act with class.

Everybody in the media knows that. I’ve worked my way here like anyone else. With Denny acting like that, what does he want me to call him? I don’t do that. I know how to act.”

MEMORIES

The game started 23 minutes late after the Sox honored the 2005 World Series title team during a pregame ceremony.

Former manager Ozzie Guillen and former players Aaron Rowand, Geoff Blum and Brian Anderson also shared stories with season-ticket holders as part of the organization’s 10-year anniversary celebration of the team this weekend.

BRITISH OPEN

CHICAGO – Dan Jennings didn’t have much left when he faced Lorenzo Cain in the 13th inning.

Cain homered Saturday to lift the Kansas City Royals to a 7-6 victory over the White Sox in a game that took nearly five hours.

The AL Central-leading Royals won for the 10th time in 13 games.

Cain doubled and singled early, then led off the 13th against Jennings (1-3) with his ninth home run of the season.

After pitching a career-high 2 2 ⁄ 3 innings of relief, Sox manager Robin Ventura stuck with the fatigued Jennings for one more inning.

“I think it was pretty evident from the last inning.

Guys behind me were making great plays. That’s what kind of helped fuel me the last inning,” said Jennings, who was one of five relievers used by Ventura.

Closer David Robertson was the only reliever not used.

Cain’s homer snapped the Sox bullpen streak of 21 consecutive scoreless innings.

He was looking for a slider from Jennings.

“Yeah, first-pitch slider right down the middle.

Then he threw another one.

And I decided to sit on the next one. Luckily he threw it. I’m glad he didn’t throw a fastball there. I just tried to put a good swing on it and it went out for me,” said Cain.

Brandon Finnegan (30) pitched two scoreless innings in the four-hour, 56-minute game. Ryan Madson earned his first save in three chances after allowing a single in the 13th.

“That game took a toll on both teams bullpens, so it was really important to try to squeak this one out,” said Royals manager Ned Yost as he went through seven relievers.

Jennings is counting on Sox ace Chris Sale to help out a tired bullpen on Sunday after the two teams played a doubleheader on Friday.

“We’ll be alright. We have a day off on Monday, so I think it will piece together.

Sale is pitching tomorrow, right? So, I think we’ll be alright,” Jennings said.

The Royals finished with 17 hits, including five doubles.

The Sox tied it in the ninth on a two-out, tworun double by J.B. Shuck.

Royals closer Greg Holland retired the first two batters before Adam LaRoche singled and Alexei Ramirez walked.

Shuck’s hit handed Holland his third blown save in 23 opportunities.

In the 10th, Cain walked and advanced on a wild pitch but was doubled off second on a flyout.

Geovany Soto just missed a home run when he doubled off the center-field wall in the Sox 12th.

Mike Moustakas’ sacrifice fly gave the Royals the lead in the eighth after they loaded the bases with two singles and a walk against Jake Petricka.

After an intentional walk to Cain, Zach Duke struck out Eric Hosmer before Kendrys Morales drew a bases-loaded walk to score another run.

Ramirez hit a solo homer in the seventh that made it 4-all. It was his third homer and first since May 9.

Slammers drop second straight to Otters SUBMITTED REPORTS EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Joliet Slammers led Evansville, 1-0, through five innings Saturday night but could not hold on as the Otters scored a 4-2 Frontier League victory.

That gave Evansville (3518) a 2-0 edge in a three-game series that concludes Sunday.

The Slammers (22-31) scored five runs in the ninth inning but needed six in their 9-8 loss Friday night in the series

opener.

The Slammers scored twice in the top of the first Friday against one of the league’s best lefties, Efriain Nieves.

Charlie White singled to lead off, Alfredo Rodriguez doubled him home, and Carlos Lopez chipped in an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.

The Otters answered with two runs against Kevin Walter in the bottom of the inning on Dan Phillips’ two-run double.

The Otters went up, 4-2, in

the second and 5-2 in the third before Phil Bates blasted a solo home run – his second of the year – in the fourth to make it 5-3. Evansville knocked out Walter with a pair of runs in the fourth inning as Phillips hit another two-run double for a 7-3 lead.

Evansville seemingly was coasting home, leading 9-3 in the ninth, but the Slammers made it interesting when they put up a 5-spot. Lopez, Jack Cleary and Casey Fletcher

all singled to fill the bases.

Two runs scored on an error on Max Casper’s grounder to third.

White singled in a run to make it 9-6. Nate Roberts walked and Rodriguez followed with a two-run single to make it 9-8, still with only one out. But with two runners in scoring position, Mike Garza lined out to shortstop and Lopez was robbed of a hit by a diving stop of his ground ball to third base.

CUBS 4, BRAVES 0

Lester flirts with no-hitter for a bit

By CHARLES ODUM The Associated Press ATLANTA – Jon Lester lost his bid for a no-hitter in the eighth inning – a try revived by an official scorer’s reversal – but ended the longest winless streak of his career as the Cubs shut out the Atlanta Braves, 4-0, on Saturday night.

A chopper down the line in the Braves’ first by Nick Markakis was originally ruled a hit. The scorer, longtime Atlanta sports writer Jack Wilkinson, changed his call in the top of the seventh and charged an error to third baseman Kris Bryant, who let the ball get under his glove.

A.J. Pierzynski, Lester’s batterymate in Boston for the first half of the 2014 season, led off the eighth with a linedrive single to right field for Atlanta’s first hit. With one

out, Andrelton Simmons’ single up the middle chased Lester.

Lester (5-8) had gone 10 starts without a win. He struck out seven, walked one and hit Pierzynski with a pitch in 7 1-3 innings.

Lester pitched a no-hitter for the Red Sox in 2008 against Kansas City. Earlier this month, the lefty took a no-hit bid into the seventh against St. Louis before Jhonny Peralta broke it up with a one-out single on a hard grounder that deflected off Bryant at third base.

The Cubs had lost eight straight at Turner Field dating to 2012. It was their longest road drought against the Braves since the team moved to Atlanta in 1966.

Manny Banuelos (1-1) allowed one earned run on six hits and three walks in 4 2-3 innings.

The Cubs took a 1-0 lead in the third when Bryant singled, moved to third on an errant pickoff attempt by Banuelos and scored on Anthony Rizzo’s single.

Chris Denorfia doubled in the fourth and scored on a single by Starlin Castro.

Rizzo added another RBI single in the Cubs’ two-run ninth.

Jason Frasor, who signed with Atlanta on Friday, replaced Banuelos in the fifth.

According to information the Elias Sports Bureau provided the team, Frasor is the franchise-record 51st player used by the Braves this season.

Cubs: RHP Jason Hammel is on track to make his scheduled start against the Reds on Tuesday. He left his July 8 start against the Cardinals after only one inning due to

Cubs: Jake Arrieta (10-5), coming off a complete-game victory over the White Sox, will try to extend his string of five consecutive quality starts in Sunday’s final game of the series. He is 4-0 with a 1.13 ERA in that five-game stretch.

Morris senior is a whiz at puzzles

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Fletcher Strickland opened the closet door in one of the common areas of Pointe Place Senior Living in Morris, where he lives.

It was full of puzzles.

“You wouldn’t believe how many we’ve got in here,” Strickland said. “When we’re done with them, we put them in another room and then ship them to other nursing homes to keep them moving.”

Strickland, 84, loves puzzles and still can assemble them quickly. Strickland can spot subtle differences in colors and shapes, often selecting the right piece on the first try.

“Some people just see a glob of stuff and not know what to do with it,” Strickland said. “I know what I’m looking for.”

Strickland will work with any number of pieces, but his favorite puzzles have 1,000.

Strickland generally assembles one puzzle a week, when he can work it into his schedule in the evening. He’s too busy in the daytime for puzzles.

By day, Strickland participates in exercise programs and other activities at Pointe Place Senior Living, including Bingo. He also spends a lot of time walking outside. Some nights, he plays cards with the other residents.

Three nights a week, Strickland runs the movies for movie nights, but if he’s going to work on a puzzle – he has them set up in an activity room because his room is too small – Strickland said he tries to get started by 8:30 p.m.

“Then I’ll sit here until 10,” Strickland said. “But not every night.”

Although Strickland isn’t particular about a puzzle’s subject matter, he did prefer airplanes and tanks when he first started assembling puzzles when he was a young child.

“World War II was going on,” Strickland said. “It [assembling puzzles] was something to do.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Send suit preference even in no-trump

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Amy Lowell, who posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926, said, “In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.”

In bridge, read the suit-preference signals in partner’s cards -- but only when attitude and count are either known or clearly irrelevant.

In our final deal this week, how can the defenders defeat three no-trump without needing to resort to guesswork? West leads his fourth-highest heart. East wins with the ace and returns his second heart. What happens after that?

South’s two-no-trump rebid shows a balanced hand with 12-14 points.

(However, if you use two-over-one game-forcing, you may also make this rebid with 18-19 points because it is forcing. If partner raises to three no-trump, you invite a slam by bidding four no-trump.)

Declarer starts with five top tricks: one heart (from trick one), three diamonds and one club. He will hope that the club finesse is working.

First of all, let’s assume South finesses his heart jack at trick two.

West wins with his queen and must return the heart nine -- his highest-remaining -- as a suit-preference signal, showing that his entry lies in spades, not diamonds. Then, after declarer takes the losing club finesse, East will know which suit to return. (Note that if East shifts to diamonds, the contract makes. And unaided, he is likely to do that because South bid spades in the auction.)

Secondly, if South wins trick two with his heart king, West must again signal with the nine. ******

48 Insist that your child wear a helmet while skateboarding Dear Dr. K: Last week

my 14-year-old daughter fell while skateboarding.

She hit the back of her head and was dazed and had blurry vision for a few seconds. But she felt fine once she sat down and rested a bit. Now the left side of her head hurts, but otherwise she feels normal. Should she see a doctor?

Dear Reader: Yes, she should. In a child, particularly, it often is hard to know when trauma to the head may have caused a brain injury.

That’s why you should never ignore a head injury, no matter how small it seems.

It may sound like I’m overreacting. After all, children bump their heads all the time.

And in most cases, this results in nothing more than minor bumps, bruises or cuts in the scalp.

But sometimes head trauma can cause more serious injuries, like a concussion.

The skull – the bony globe that surrounds and protects the brain – is hard.

But the brain is as soft as Jell-O. A head injury can cause the soft brain to forcefully bang against the hard skull.

When that happens, the hard bony shell that was built to protect the brain injures the brain instead.

Concussions in children are serious. A concussion can cause: • Headache • Neck pain • Nausea or vomiting • Dizziness or vertigo • Hearing loss • Blurred or double vision • Fatigue • Irritability, anxiety or change in personality • Loss of memory • Confusion • Difficulty concentrating or slowing of reaction time • Brief loss of consciousness

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Symptoms often happen right away, and go away within minutes to hours.

But sometimes children have symptoms that last for several days, weeks or even months.

The most important thing to do after suffering a concussion is to avoid situations that could cause another head injury.

That’s why it’s important to take a break from physical and even mental activity. If your daughter has a concussion, her doctor might recommend you: • Adjust your child’s schedule and schoolwork. • Excuse your child from gym class, recess and sports.

The pediatrician will let you know when it’s OK for her to return to normal activities.

In addition, watch your child closely. Sometimes the injury that caused a concussion can cause bleeding into the brain.

Tell the pediatrician if symptoms get worse, come back, last too long, or if your child’s behavior changes.

These are clues that something is not right.

Finally, in the future, insist that your daughter wear a helmet for skateboarding, biking or any other riding activity.

Nothing is more important in protecting her from a brain injury.

Some brain injuries last a lifetime. Some, even, are fatal.

Helmets save brains, and lives.

Dating behind parents’ back won’t prove teen’s maturity

| COMICS & ADVICE

Dear Abby: My boyfriend, “Aidan,” and I have been dating for three months. I want to tell my parents, but I don’t know how. They say I’m too young and immature to date. I’ll be 16 in five months.

They say Aidan is obsessed with me and they don’t want me staying in an unhealthy relationship.

My parents think I’m not talking to Aidan, but I really am. I want to show them I’m mature enough for a relationship. All they keep saying is I need to be “realistic” and “respectful.” I’m more respectful than half the people I know.

I don’t want to keep this from my parents anymore.

What should I do? – Teen Girl

ents say a teen is too young to date, they aren’t talking about the number of candles on her birthday cake. If your parents are worried that Aidan is “obsessed,” they must have a reason.

Sneaking around isn’t a way to gain anyone’s confidence. Teens show they are mature and responsible enough to handle the privilege of dating by being open, honest, communicating their feelings, listening respectfully to the opinions of others, and shouldering responsibility. If you start now, you may be able to convince your parents that you’re ready.

Dear Abby: I have been taking trips with a friend for a few years. We share a room and usually have a good time.

Unfortunately, my friend is cheap. She fights for every dollar every day of the year even though she is very well off.

Lately she has become worse. During the last tour we took, she “made lunch” off the breakfast buffets in the hotels where we stayed, although most of them had signs posted saying that food should not be taken out. Not once, not twice, but every single day she packed a sandwich, fruit and coffee so she wouldn’t have to buy lunch. I asked her to please not do it, but she brushed me off.

I like her, but I hate feeling ashamed of her. I believe in doing the right thing, and do-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing unto others what I would like them to do unto me, and I have reached the point where I just don’t want to travel with her. Any advice? – Cali-

fornia Traveler Dear Traveler: Yes. Tell

your friend you have now taken your last trip together, and then tell her exactly why.

Dear Abby: I see so many young girls wear “spike” heels. I know they think they look glamorous, but a word of advice: LEARN TO WALK IN THEM AT HOME. Girls, you look like ducks, walking with your knees bent because the heels are so high and you haven’t practiced. I know what I’m talking about because those heels were in style when I was young. – Smart

Lady In Tennessee Dear Smart Lady: There is

nothing wrong with that advice. Practice makes perfect.

However, allow me to add another suggestion. When I buy a pair of spike heels (and I do own a few), the first thing I do is take them to my shoemaker and have the heels cut down a quarter of an inch, which makes them more comfortable – and safer – to walk in. (If I broke an ankle they’d have to shoot me, because I’d never race again.

Dear Abby: I’m a middle school boy and I enjoy the company of a certain girl very much. I expressed my feelings to her a couple of times, and at one point we almost kissed. The problem is she has a boyfriend. What’s your advice on getting her to be with me? – Middle School

Boy Dear Middle School Boy:

If she almost kissed you, it means she’s attracted to you, too. So be patient, be cool and bide your time. If you do, pretty soon your time will come, she’ll tire of her boyfriend, and you will avoid a black eye.
